Rivers Casino Blackjack How Many Decks

But the Meadows uses 6 decks while the Rivers uses 8 decks. Penetrations depend on the dealers. Sometimes 0.5 decks left (only in the Rivers casino). Sometimes 2 decks left (both). The object of Blackjack, the most popular game in the casino, is to draw cards that will come closer than the dealer to 21, but not exceed 21. The game begins with the player making a wager in the area designated on the table. Each player receives two cards and the dealer receives two cards, one card face down and the other card face up.

Two gamblers are suing the Rivers Philadelphia Casino (formerly known as Sugarhouse) due to the destination using illegitimate card decks for their blackjack and poker games.

The incident saw Sugarhouse using decks with too many and too few cards for their games, as well as malfunctioning card sorters. The case led to a hefty set of fines against Sugarhouse by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, who levied more than $100,000 in penalties. Now, two players want their cut of the pie.

The two filed the lawsuit on May 22nd and claims that the casino “supplied the table games, including those participated in by plaintiffs, Mattia and Vespe, with illegitimate decks, i.e., decks that had either too many cards, too few cards, or the improper denomination of cards included in the game, and/or malfunctioning card sorters.”

Additionally, the suit states: “Defendants SugarHouse and Rush Street should be required to disgorge all monies and gains which they have obtained at the expense of plaintiffs Mattia and Vespe for the period from May 2017 through January 2018.”

Mattia claims that he lost $147,000 in 2017-2018, while Vespe lost $103,000 during the same timeframe. They’re citing negligence, breach of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, conspiracy to commit fraud, and breach of contract to back up their lawsuit.

Rivers and their owners Rush Street haven’t issued comment on the case as of press time. The case will see a pre-trial conference set for July 24th in Philadelphia.
